Fulltone FatBoost III Clean Boost Pedal FB-3
The Fulltone FatBoost 3 clean boost pedal replaces previous fat boost versions 1 and 2. The Fulltone Fat-Boost 3 is a Discrete, Class-A, FET (Field-Effect-Transistor) pedal offering up to 35dB of non-distorted Gain without changing your signature sound .
The Fulltone FB-3 Offers the following features:
-
brings back the v1 11- position Gain control giving the ultimate in control over the FET's.
-
adds one more stage of FET so that the pedal does not invert your signal
-
cures v1's huge Bass increase and dull high-end issues, but allowing those sounds as well should you so desire.
You can fatten/distort your tone with the FB-3, brighten or mellow up the sound, add or subtract Bass, and add even-order harmonics! The Fulltone FB-3 has True-Bypass switching (using the finest switch made, the Fulltone 3PDT) and incorporates a super-bright LED without the loud popping sound thanks to our proprietary anti-pop circuitry.
The Fat-Boost 3 works great in front of non-Master-Volume Tube amps to goose them into submission, as well as through Master-Volume amps to drive them much harder than possible with just your guitar alone. It also works very well on Bass, Acoustic Guitars (with Pickups). The Fulltone Fat Boost 3 also works well as a line driver at the end of a pedal chain for driving long cable runs.
The Fat-Boost (Model FB-3) incorporates all of the things that people have loved about previous versions of the Fulltone Fat-Boost pedals without any of the shortcomings, and brings back the 11 step FET Bias Drive Knob that was missing from the FB-2. Youll notice that the Drive knob makes a slight scraping noise when you turn it...not to worry... that is totally normal, and is simply the sound of the Bias changing and settling on the FET MuAmp. The Fat-Boost 3 gives you the feeling that your amp is Cranked at living room volumes so your playing is more dynamic and notes hold on longer without being distorted. It makes up for all the tone loss that (even True-Bypass) pedals impart to your sound, especially if you have a lot of pedals on your pedalboard. You'll rarely want to turn the Fat Boost 3 off!
